Smart IPTV (SIPTV) is one of the longest-running IPTV players for smart TVs. It runs on Samsung and LG TVs as well as Android, Google TV and Fire TV devices, and instead of typing a login with your remote, you upload your playlist on the app’s website using your TV’s MAC address. This guide covers where to get it, how to activate it, how to add your playlist and how to fix the common errors.
- Official website: siptv.app
- Devices: Samsung Tizen 6.5+ TVs (2022 and newer), LG webOS and older LG TVs, Android, Google TV and Fire TV
- Price: a one-time activation fee of 5.49 EUR per TV or device, according to the developer’s activation page
- Playlists: uploaded at siptv.app with your MAC address, as a file or a URL
- Channels included: none; it’s a player only
What is Smart IPTV?
Smart IPTV is a media player for IPTV playlists. The developer’s website describes it as “just a media player” with “no channels included”, and asks users not to email about channels. It supports channel and TV guide search, multiple external EPG sources, favorites editing, teletext subtitles and custom themes.
The app shows your TV’s MAC address on its screen. You use that address on siptv.app to activate the app and upload your playlist, and the TV loads it the next time the app starts. SubscribeIPTV isn’t affiliated with Smart IPTV: we provide the IPTV service you add to it.
Install Smart IPTV
| Device | How to get it |
|---|---|
| Samsung TVs (Tizen 6.5+, 2022 and newer) | Install it fresh from the Apps store on your TV. The developer notes that the current version isn’t an update to the old 3.0 version, so remove the old one first. |
| LG TVs (webOS 3.0+, plus older Netcast and webOS 1.0-2.0) | The LG Content Store. On older LG TVs, the developer says to remove and reinstall the app if it doesn’t update by itself. |
| Android, Google TV and Fire TV | Follow the Android installation instructions on siptv.app. |
On a Fire TV, apps from outside the Amazon Appstore need a Fire OS model and the Downloader app; our Downloader guide explains both.
Smart IPTV activation and price
According to the activation page on siptv.app, Smart IPTV costs “a one-time fee of 5.49 EUR for each TV/device”, paid on the website with your TV’s MAC address. Two warnings from the developer are worth repeating:
- Don’t pay if you don’t have a playlist. No channels come with activation.
- Activation doesn’t fix playback problems. Test your playlist first if you can.
The fee goes to the app’s developer and is separate from your IPTV plan. Check the current price on siptv.app before you pay.
Upload your playlist
- Open Smart IPTV on your TV at least once and write down the MAC address it shows.
- On your phone or computer, open the My List page on siptv.app.
- Enter the MAC address, then add your playlist as a URL (your M3U link) or a file. If your provider gave you an Xtream Codes login, our Xtream Codes guide shows how to build the M3U link.
- Optionally add an EPG link for the TV guide and choose the matching EPG country, or tick Detect EPG to find it in the playlist.
- Upload, then restart the app on your TV.
The Save online option is only for playlists too large for your TV’s memory; the developer says to use it only in that case. SubscribeIPTV customers can also send us the MAC address and we’ll help.
Settings worth knowing
- Lock your MAC: the developer recommends locking your MAC in the app’s settings so nobody else can reset your playlist.
- Logos: you can use the logos from your playlist or the app’s own.
- TV guide: Smart IPTV supports multiple external EPG sources; our EPG guide explains how guide links work.
Fix common Smart IPTV errors
| Message | What it means and what to do |
|---|---|
| “MAC address is not found” | The MAC was typed wrong, or the app hasn’t been opened on the TV yet. Open the app once and copy the MAC again. |
| “MAC address is not activated!” | The TV isn’t activated yet. Activate it on siptv.app, then upload again. |
| “Your IP is reported for ban!” | The developer says to unlock your MAC in the app’s settings and restart your browser before uploading again. |
| Channels won’t play | Check that your plan is active and the M3U link is complete; see our IPTV not working guide. |
